Oracle has introduced JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Integration to Primavera Contract Management, to help bridge the gap between enterprise resource planning (ERP) and construction project management.

The company claims that the new pre-built two-way integration between JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Primavera Contract Management helps deliver end-to-end job costing, enabling organisations to follow best practices for budgeting, subcontract management, change management, issues management and payment expedition.

Oracle said that the new offering helps organisations overcome fragmented processes that lead to lack of business alignment, low predictability in project execution and performance, and inconsistency in business decision-making.

According to Oracle, the integration provides change and issue management capabilities and role-based participation that enables users to use the application that is relevant to their role in the organisation and within projects.

The integration helps organisations achieve consistency in project-related reporting from financial and project management systems; reduce project risks; and alignment between organisational strategy, project execution, and results, the company said.

Joel Koppelman, senior vice president and general manager at Oracle’s Primavera Global Business Unit, said: “Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Integration to Primavera Contract Management helps deliver a single version of truth to project-intensive organisations so that all stakeholders are aware of changes to project costs and purchase orders. This enables them to plan, anticipate change both in the field and in the finance department, and eliminate risks that may cause a project to be delayed or come in over budget.”
